About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.

Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, it is light in Lyminge until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Parties in Lyminge: homes, halls and local tips
Lyminge is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Wherever your party is in Lyminge, we can bring the roaster, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. Lyminge is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Lyminge to Canterbury (about 10 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Acrise Place (2.1 miles east) and Westenhanger Castle (3.4 miles south-west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Lyminge, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.
Wherever your party is in CT18, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Church Road, Station Road and Silverlands Road; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For parties just outside Lyminge, we cover Ottinge (1 mile north-east), Woodland (1 mile west), Skeete (1 mile west), Etchinghill (1 mile south) and Rhodes Minnis (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (10 miles west), Canterbury (10 miles north), Dover (9 miles east), Folkestone (5 miles south-east), Deal (15 miles north-east) and Hythe (4 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Saltwood Castle (3.3 miles south) and Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (2.5 miles south-east). The countryside around Lyminge includes Tolsford Hill.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
